And as I continued to pipe for the large strawberry tarts someone walks in "ohh dessert can I have some." I turn around and I see it was Alistar taking some." You can it seems like you already decided." I tell him as I hear him moaning in the background and as he finishes he spoke

What's got your feeling hurt Cleo."

The past."

Do you want to talk about the past." No I just want to finish's these and send them out... if I can no one will take baked good from a villain kid." No but they will take some from me and you." Alistar looked at me with a grin and helped me put the baked goods on a tray and rolled them out to the school

And as people were talking some and thinking Alistar made them and thanking him and as we get to the girls dorm I spot Ben and walk up to him

Hey Ben would you like a a-." I stopped mid sentence to see not just Mal but Evie ,Jay and Carlos in the girls dorm Ben was in the door way of

Mal." I said trying to be calm

Cleosia." She said but making me more mad and my hands started to shake a little which means the the pans of pastry we had left did to but Ben called my name with snapped me out of my anger

Cleosia what did you wanted to ask me again." Oh.... Um what I was trying to say was do you want a pastry I made 4 pans of 24 different kinds of desserts." I told him and he laughed

And what made you do that." Anger." I said looking at the four then back at Ben I can see that Ben can sense the tension in the air then he grabbed one of the pans from my arm and held it out to the four

Would any of you would like one of Cleo's pastries there always freshly baked." I looked at the four and they looked at me then Mal spoke

Maybe next time Ben. Oh wait Ben, um, is it true that we all get to go to your coronation? She asked

Yeah, the whole school goes." Ben responded

Wow. That is beyond exciting. Do you think that it's a possibility that the four of us can stand in the front row with the fairy godmother just so we could soak up all that goodness?

I wish you could up front it's just me, my folks, and my girlfriend." I was surprised when Ben looked at me when he said girlfriend but I looked around to see alistar smiling

And your girlfriend? Yeah. I'm sorry.

Okay. Thank, bye." Mal said as she shuts the door on him and as he turn to me I spoke "so girlfriend she must be thrilled." Yeah she might be." He responded a I kept looking in his eyes noticing the hint of gold in them

Well Cleo we must hurry before the rest of the pastry's get cold." Alistar snapping me out of that moment as I looked around " and Ben you can keep the macaroons I know how hungry you get so..... umm see you later." Yeah ..... um bye." We said as we walked away from each other

Mal's pov

As I stay close to the door hearing their conversation and hearing them leave I turn around to the others with a smirk "I think it's time that bennyboo got himself a new girlfriend. And Cleosia needs a love spell." I said as I motioned Carlos to had me my book when Evie spoke

Don't you think we hurt her enough, Mal." Look this won't her hurt her ok we need to do everything we can o get that wand."

Ok we still need one tear, and I never cry." I said quietly

Let's just chop up some onions." Carlos responded

No! T says that we need one tear of human sadness. And this love potion. So we have to follow it exactly." A tear a tear." Jay says annoyed.

That not true Jay. They both have antibodies and enzymes, but an emotional tear has more protein-based hormones then a reflex tear." Listen to you." I say hyping her up

Yeah, I knew that." Jay replied

Did not." Carlos said "yeah I did." Jay finished when we hear the door open and had to huddle the book quickly seen that it was Lonnie walked in

There you are Mal! I was looking for you, you know all the girls want you to do your hair. Midnight snack, huh? What's you guys making? She asked

Nothing special, just cookies." And before I finished Lonnie dipped her finger in the batter

Oh, no ,no ! Wait! "What? I'm not gonna double dip.she said

Feel anything?

Yeah, like maybe it might be missing something? Me and Evie questioned "hey there" Jay walked over

Could use some chips." She said walking to the fridge " and those are? Chocolate chips, just the most important food group." She told us poring some in the batter " wait didn't your moms ever make you guys, like, chocolate chips cookies? Like when you're feeling sad, and they're fresh from the oven, with a big ole glass of milk and she just makes you laugh and puts everything into perspective and." She stop rating looking at us "why are you all looking at me like that? She questioned

It's just different where we're from." Yeah I know. I just, you know, I thought even villain love their kids." She said nervously

Oh! How awful." After she said that I picked up the tear that was falling from her face and put it in the bowl "yeah, well big bummer but we have to get these in the oven. So thank you so much for coming by. See you tomorrow, evil dreams." I finished pushing her out then looking at the others

Okay, boys, cookie sheet. Evie oven." Yea, ma'am." After the cookies were done we had a big day ahead of us
